(ABOVE: I took this picture of Dan on a storm chase a few years back. Let's just say that Dan has a fan club at the Shadybrook Retirement Center!)
One of the fun duties of my job is getting "out of the office" for a few hours to speak to schools, churches and civic groups. Earlier this week I entertained the Shadybrook Retirement Center with storm chasing stories and weather safety, and I was also entertained by what I saw one of the ladies do...
Here's what happened: I passed around my storm chasing pictures for the group to look over while I chatted. One of the pictures shows Dan standing in front of a tornado. Dan is one my best friends and storm chase partner.
You see, Dan has always attracted the eyes from ladies of all ages. For example when I went to the mall with him, a teenage girl thought he was a hottie, and she snapped a picture of him on her cell phone as we walked by.
Now....back to Shadybrook...One of the ladies saw the picture of Dan and tornado and was impressed with his looks. She pretended to blush as she fanned herself and showed the picture to other ladies who nodded and smiled as they liked what they saw. Then, unknowing that I was watching, she *ahem* pretended to tuck the picture under her blouse as she stuffed the picture under her clothing.
I didn't say anything to embarass her. (Of course now I'm writing about it for the world to read about it...)
Sorry ladies, Storm Chaser Dan got married last year. He's normally behind the scenes and you probably won't see him on TV as he's helped me to get pictures, video and storm info back to Channel 2 and our viewers. But he'll always have his fans!
